Gameloft has shared an in-depth look at what players will be getting up to in Disney Dreamlight Valley when it launches later this year.
The vibrant life sim has a lot in common with the similarly named Stardew Valley as well as Animal Crossing: New Horizons with players building their own homes, gathering resources, and partaking in various mini-games.
Of course, the big attraction here is the Disney name. Dreamlight Valley will play host to growing number of familiar characters plucked from all your favourite Disney and Pixar movies. This includes both heroes and villains, both new and old, each with their own storyline set within this crossover game.
Disney Dreamlight Valley Overview
Disney Dreamlight Valley is a hybrid between a life-sim and an adventure game rich with quests, exploration, and engaging activities featuring Disney and Pixar friends, both old and new.
Once an idyllic land, Dreamlight Valley was a place where Disney and Pixar characters lived in harmony—until the Forgetting. Night Thorns grew across the land and severed the wonderful memories tied to this magical place. With nowhere else to go, the hopeless inhabitants of Dreamlight Valley retreated behind locked doors in the Dream Castle.
Now it’s up to you to discover the stories of this world and bring the magic back to Dreamlight Valley!
